  • the compound serving as the precursor is adjusted such that purity of the magnesium oxide (MgO) obtained after the firing is to be 99.95% or more, or preferably 99.98% or more.
  • an impurity element of alkali metal such as B, Si, Fe, or Al
  • the precursor is previously adjusted such that the impurity element is removed from the compound.
  • a dispersion liquid is produced by dispersing crystal particles 92 a of the MgO obtained by the above method, in a solvent. Then, the dispersion liquid is applied to the surface of base film 91 by spraying, screen printing, or electrostatic spraying. Then, the solvent is removed through drying and firing steps. Through the above steps, crystal particles 92 a of the MgO are fixed onto the surface of base film 91 .
  • Aggregated particle 92 is formed such that crystal particles 92 a each having a predetermined primary particle diameter are bonded by aggregation or necking. That is, they are not bonded with strong bonding force as a solid, but a plurality of primary particles are bonded as an aggregate by static electricity or van der Waals' force, so that they partially or wholly become a primary particle state by external stimulus such as an ultrasonic wave.
  • a particle diameter of aggregated particle 92 is about 1 ⁇ m, and crystal particle 92 a preferably has a form of a polyhedron having seven or more flat faces such as a cuboctahedron or dodecahedron.
  • a particle diameter of the primary particle of crystal particle 92 a can be controlled by a condition for forming crystal particle 92 a .

  • aggregated particle 92 having the primary particles bonded by aggregation or necking can be obtained in its production process.
  • aggregated particle 92 composed of the aggregated crystal particles of the MgO has an effect to prevent “discharge delay” mainly in the address discharge, and an effect to improve temperature dependency of the “discharge delay”.
  • Aggregated particle 92 is superior in initial electron emission characteristics compared with base film 91 .
  • aggregated particle 92 is provided as a part to supply an initial electron required when a discharge pulse rises.
  • the “discharge delay” is supposed to be mainly caused by a deficiency of an amount of initial electrons serving as the trigger and emitted from the surface of base film 91 to discharge space 16 to start the discharge. Therefore, aggregated particles 92 are dispersed on the surface of base film 91 in order to stably supply the initial electrons to discharge space 16 . As a result, there are sufficient electrons in discharge space 16 when the discharge pulse rises, so that the discharge delay can be prevented. Thus, due to such initial electron emission characteristics, high-speed driving superior in discharge responsiveness can be realized even when PDP 1 is a high-definition PDP.

  • FIG. 10 shows electron emission performance and charge retention performance of the protective layer.
  • the electron emission performance As for the electron emission performance, as its value increases, an electron emission amount becomes large.
  • the electron emission performance is expressed as an initial electron emission amount determined by a surface state of the discharge, a gas kind, and its state.
  • the initial electron emission amount can be measured by measuring an electronic current amount emitted from the surface when the surface is irradiated with an ion or electron beam.
  • a method disclosed in a Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 2007-48733 is used. That is, the method measures a value which provides an indication of ease of discharge generation, called a statistical delay time of delay times of the discharge.
  • the value linearly corresponds to the emission amount of the initial electrons.
  • the delay time of the discharge corresponds to a time from rising of the address discharge pulse until the address discharge is generated later.
  • the discharge delay is supposed to be mainly caused because the initial electron serving as the trigger to generate the address discharge is not easily emitted from the protective layer surface to the discharge space.
  • the charge retention performance is expressed by a voltage (hereinafter, referred to as the Vscn lighting voltage) applied to the scan electrode to prevent an electric charge from being emitted from the protective layer in the PDP.
  • the Vscn lighting voltage is low the PDP can be driven at a low voltage.
  • a component which is low in withstand voltage and low in capacity can be used as a power supply or an electric component.
  • an element having a withstand voltage as low as 150 V is used as a semiconductor switching element such as a MOSFET provided to sequentially apply the scan voltage to the panel.
  • the Vscn lighting voltage is preferably 120 V or lower in view of a variation due to temperature.
  • the electron emission ability of the protective layer contradicts with the charge retention ability thereof.
  • the electron emission performance can be improved by changing a condition for forming the protective layer, or doping an impurity such as Al, Si, or Ba in the protective layer in a film formation process.

  • the electron emission ability of the protective layer of each of sample 3 and sample 4 is more than eight times as high as that of sample 1.
  • the Vscn lighting voltage is 120 V or lower. Therefore, the PDPs of sample 3 and sample 4 are more useful in realizing a high-definition PDP having many scan lines and small in cell size. That is, the PDPs of sample 3 and sample 4 satisfy both of the electron emission ability and the charge retention ability, and realize a preferable image display at a lower voltage.

In addition, it can realize a high-quality image display performance in which a lighting defect is prevented.
  • the MgO film is illustrated as the base layer in the above description.
